Looks good, should be a decent ride time as well.

Wow! I thought this thing was going to be as short as Kali, but wow. Smart layout

They'll be some waterfalls you pass under and other features built-in to make it a fun little adventure ride too. It'll pack a punch for such a small space.

This is amazing, I even thought the hospitality house was going to be history but….. Wow! I am so happy for SeaWorld right now. I really thought it was going to be a little bit of zig-zaging, lift, drop and over but kudos SWO, kudos! Love it!

Good length to the ride and a unique course with the drop. This might become the best rapids ride in florida. Great job sea world.

I still think Popeye will be the most fun, but the drop here will be a big draw. It's hard to top the theming of Popeye.

I'll certainly like it more than Kali, (not that it's that hard to do.)

Jesus, how many acres of land is this taking up? It looks pretty big for a small space.

That is as short as Kali lol

Yeah it is, but it uses smaller rafts, so it may appear longer. Either way they’ll be less boring downtime than Kali.

Kali feels short because not much happens. Even a few more sharp turns would help tremendously. By the time it starts getting fun it ends. Lot of wasted potential.

I'm sorry, perhaps I fell asleep on it. I've done it once and I've never seen it under 10 mins wait time, which it's the most I would wait to do it for a second time.

I agree with you. I did like the burned forest scene followed by slide. Great message but besides that, I just don't remember ANYTHING about it. I guess there was a lift? since there's is a drop but it's all a blur to me.

In literally a matter of days from our last aerial shot you can see lots of progress on the site. It appears that the first lift is beginning to be installed. The roof on top of the station has taken shape. Also, the formation of large rocks beginning at the base of the drop near the turnaround into the lift. Also would appear that the area between the vertical lift and the regular lift has been filled with dirt. I'm assuming we will see the drop pieces being installed very soon. Finally, the last new thing I can pick from this image is that the walls for the pedestrian bridge has been installed. Geez this thing is moving fast now.

I believe the main issue with Kali is the placement of the drop...It should be the culmination, not occur halfway through the ride and then nothing

They appear to have the drop for Infinity at the very end of the experience, good thought

Glad to see rockwork and theming already starting to show up!

I'm actually kind of intrigued to see this ride..I need to get out to Sea World soon...Haven't been since Antarctica

I have to say, I think this is more impressive and larger than I thought it would be. This could be the sleeper hit of 2018.

So I talked to someone in the know today and the project was supposed to be completed by Memorial Day, but the current hope is for late June, but probably July 4th is more realistic. They hope to have the pathway restored/walls down by Memorial Day and primary work done.
